Tour de France.
Junkies on bikes on every channel in the middle of summer when you finally have time to watch TV, and then when it ends and vacation is over, they go back to showing cartoons when you're at school. Nothing exciting happens either. It's not a sprint or some **** like that, 99 % of the time it's just people riding in formation, then eventually somebody is like "AND HE'S TRYING TO OVERTAKE THIS GUY! AMAZING PERFORMANCE!" and the camera just follows a fit but sweaty guy taking somebody over with a relative speed that continental drift makes a mockery of.
And it's always the dad-types that watch it, it's always those guys who have the action movies at night pandering to them, who can now sit down in the middle of the day, crack open a beer and stare at **** all for four ******* hours, and then afterwards they show the highlights - and by highlights I mean three dudes asking each other what significance it held that one guy overtook another, desperately trying to make it sound just a little more exciting and endurable than just staring directly at the burning summer sun.
